Notes |
Crochet is "a needlework technique performed using a crochet hook plus fiber or other similar material. Most typically, this material is yarn or crochet thread, but it might also be fabric, wire, twine, or other innovative material." [http://crochet.about.com/od/crochetterms/g/crochet-definition-what-is-crocheting.htm-9/7/2016] "The first evidence of crochet in history was in early nineteenth century Europe, where it was referred to as 'shepherd's knitting'...The word crochet comes from the French word 'croche' meaning hook."
